Indiana permit test practice
Mr. Driver’s Ed is a free study app for the written knowledge test you take for a learner’s permit in Indiana. It has no ads, and every question in it cites the page of the official handbook it was written from, so you can check any answer against the book. Here are ten of its Indiana questions, each with its answer, the reason, and its citation.

The Indiana practice exam
The app’s Indiana practice exam: 34 road rules + 16 road signs; 28 correct in road rules, 13 in road signs, graded at the end — modeled on the official test. Those numbers are the app’s own.
This is practice. The official test and its rules come from Indiana, not from this app.
